===================================================1. What people want A site for powerful business idea brainstorming===================================================

You may have already come across http://www.43things.com/ . It encourages you to bare your soul – mainly anonymously – and share your goals and desires with the world.

MissLed wants to go skydiving and talk to at least 3 new people every day. Farrahann wants to write a short story and see all the Fred Astaire movies.

But the site is much more than a place to post your goals or vicariously enjoy other people’s goals.

It’s a powerful business idea generator.

It’s a very useful place to explore if you’re looking for a new business idea, a new product idea, or a topic for an ebook, website or blog.

Why is it so useful? Because it’s a place where people open up and reveal exactly what they want. When you know what people want, you can sell it to them – or sell them information telling them how to get it.

You’ll find wacky, unusual goals but you’ll also see a lot of common ground.

If you click around on the site, you’ll find a LOT of things people want. Clicking on a list or username leads to another goal, and another… You’ll go off on tangents you never would have discovered simply by typing keywords into a keyword research tool.

The popularity of the various goals is no doubt skewed a bit because 43things.com makes it easy for you to check off existing goals instead of thinking of your own.

- This guy averages a massive 26% CTR over 145,559 impressions- He generates sales of up to $7,189.55 per day from a handful of keywords- He is teaching you how he did it in a power packed Ebook with screen shots and accompanying video tutorials..

====================================2. Have you made YOUR Big Life List?====================================

After last week’s newsletter in which I wrote about Yanik Silver’s ambitious “Big Life List” – he wants to fly to the Moon, leave $10 million+ to charities, and own a vineyard producing award-wining wines – a reader asked me if I’ll be revealing my Big Life List.

Maybe not. Compared with Yanik’s list, at the moment mine looks much too tame. I want to do simple things like climb the 11 floors to our apartment without puffing, and have a vacation in Fiji. I also have some business goals that aren’t ready for public scrutiny just yet.

I’ve achieved most of the things on my old list. Yanik has given me the push I needed to add new interesting, challenging goals. I’m still working on that.

Here are a few experiences I can tick off as already achieved…

Make a kite and fly it Walk on a glacier Design our own house Invent new recipes Write a recipe book Take a landscaping course Plan a garden Remodel an old cottage Go snorkeling Go paragliding Visit London, Edinburgh, Rome, Paris, Prague, Amsterstam, Zurich, San Francisco, Honolulu, etc. Cruise the Danube and Rhine

Goals on your “Big Life List” don’t have to be expensive. Goals I noticed at 34things.com included:

=================================================3. Passion, profits and purpose – how to get them=================================================

On the subject of getting more out of life, I hope you’ve signed up for a free trial of Yanik’s new physical newsletter, Maverick Business Insider.

The first edition is a corker. Yanik interviews Mike Geary, who’s on track to generate $3 million to $4 million from ONE ebook on ClickBank. Yep, just one.

The second edition will contain an interview with an affiliate who’s doing $100,000 a month with PPC, by DIRECT linking to vendors. If someone told you it can’t be done, don’t believe them.

Yanik’s newsletter breaks new ground. It’s all about putting more passion, more profits and more purpose into your life. As the above lists show, we need much more than money to make us happy and live a fulfilled life.

Yanik is giving you fantastic freebies to encourage you to try the trial offer.

* You get a special, $15k closed-door presentation on DVD entitled “Instant Leverage Points in Your Business That Bring You Surges of Cash”. It’s a presentation he did in January to 26 top-gun entrepreneurs and business leaders, who paid about $15k in membership fees and trip fees to come together in Baja, Mexico, for Maverick Business Adventures.

* As well as the DVD, you get the MindMap that Yanik handed out, his new book, “34 Rules for Maverick Entrepreneurs” (I love his new book), a 2 CD-audio program and more.

The only thing you pay is shipping and handling for a package easily worth 30x this meager amount.

Yanik is moving beyond aiming for awesome profits. He’s now deeply involved in a combination of thrilling adventures, business sessions and giving back through charity and education to empower future entrepreneurs.

You get a taste of all that in Maverick Business Insider.

Do try the trial edition and the freebies. You’ll be simply blown away…

Hi Allan,I checked out 43 things but how did you get the total amount of people who were committed to certain goals? I don't see anywhere to get totals.Thx.Anthony

[It took a bit of hunting to compile that list. If you click on a username you will see a list of the things they want. Alongside each goal is the number of people who have the same goal. Then you can scroll to the bottom of the page and click on what you think may be a popular goal and click on another name, etc. Allan.]

I sign up for 43things, but cant seem to get the statistic page where u got all the figures from.

Where exactly u get them. Mind sharing the page address

[Theres isn't one page containing all that information. I had to click around and explore to find the information on lots of different pages. For example, when you click on a member's username, you can see their list and how many people have the same goals. Here's one example:http://www.43things.com/person/OasisOfCalmIf you click on links you see, you'll spot other usernames you can click on.Allan.]
